Abstract
Phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase $C-{\gamma}\;1\; (PLC-{\gamma}\;1)$ has pivotal roles in cellular signaling by producing second messengers, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate $(IP_3)$ and diacylglycerol (DG). Tubulin is a main component of microtubules and mitotic spindle fibers, which are composed of ${\alpha}-$ and ${\beta}-tubulin$ heterodimers in all eukaryotic cells. In humans, six ${\beta}-tubulin$ isotypes have been identified which display a distinct pattern of tissue expression. Previously we found that $PLC-{\gamma}\;1$ and one of four ${\beta}-tubulin$ isotypes including ${\beta}1$, ${\beta}2$, ${\beta}3$ and ${\beta}6$, colocalized in COS-7 cells and cotranslocated to the plasma membrane to activate $PLC-{\gamma}\;1$ upon agonist stimulation. In the present study, we demonstrate that the remaining two, tubulin ${\beta}4$ and ${\beta}5$, also showed a potential to activate $PLC-{\gamma}\;1$. The phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate $(PIP_2)$ hydrolyzing activity of $PLC-{\gamma}\;1$ was substantially increased in the presence of purified ${\beta}4$ and ${\beta}5$ tubulin in vitro, whereas the activity was not promoted by bovine serum albumin, suggesting that tubulin ${\beta}4$ and ${\beta}5$ also activate $PLC-{\gamma}\;1$. Taken together, our results suggest that all the ${\beta}-tubulin$ isotype activates $PLC-{\gamma}\;1$ activity to regulate cellular signaling.
